Solution 1

C#

Thread t = new Thread(() => { Console.WriteLine("Doing some work"); });
t.Priority = ThreadPriority.AboveNormal; //Assign priority here

Please atleast google for such simple questions.

My 5, but... people asking about changing priorities usually should not change them.

Solution 3

I would warn you against changing priorities. First, it does not usually improve the program throughput. Think about it: you don't accelerate anything, you just use more of the CPU at the expense of other threads.

More importantly, usually an attempt to change priorities is the indication of incorrect use of threading and lack of knowledge of thread synchronization primitives. The rule is: if threading works incorrectly, changing of priorities cannot fix it.

Hmm right, changing priorities can disturb other thread's operations. I was initially thinking of pointing that out, appreciate your answer. 5+
